R.I.P ,MICHAEL

From Andromeda Strain through Jurassic Park to ER image(T.V.series) Michael Crichton earned his name as the "father of techno thrillers"

He was a doctor,scientist,film director but best known as a science fiction writer by the fact that more than 150 million copies of his books have been sold worldwide.

Every novel of his was strongly based on real technological facts.He is one of my personal favourites & one of the major reasons which kindled my desire to not just read stories but to learn & understand  this system called life.

"Science is a kind of glorified tailoring enterprise," Crichton wrote in Travels, "a method for taking measurements that describe something - reality - that may not be understood at all."
